Ashes 2019 | When the other team makes changes, you’re doing something right, says Josh Hazlewood

Hazlewood is happy that they’ve got the opposition scrambling for ideas to fix their lineup ahead of the penultimate Test of what has been an absorbing series thus far. It is understood that England may choose to open the innings with Joe Denly and move the struggling Jason Roy down to No.4. 

“That's where we want to get to as a squad, I think, have those six [bowlers in the squad] all firing, even Michael Neser bowling really well this game keeps the pressure on you as a player in the team. It's always good, healthy competition. That's a great measure of how the group's going. That they are putting pressure on the guys who are playing. That can make the difference. They can easily mope around. It's a long tour. They're buzzing around, and working on their games, and it's great," he said.

"It can feel like it's moving pretty quickly in those situations. The crowds are quite loud as well, it's hard to hear people, we certainly could have taken our time a little bit more and communicated a little bit better with the field, the skipper and bowler. We looked at it on the whole - a very good performance from our bowling group. We got beaten by a helluva player at the end. We've certainly talked about that, what we could have done differently with fields, different bowling,” Hazlewood said.

Personally, the 28-year-old is in an excellent space after picking up nine wickets at Leeds – including a five-fer in the first innings to bowl the hosts out for just 67.
